MONTGOMERY – The Alabama Department of Revenue (ALDOR) is offering tax relief to Alabama taxpayers who reside or have a business in federally declared disaster areas in Alabama where damage was caused by severe weather in January. The relief measures mirror IRS measures in the same declared disaster areas.
ALDOR will grant filing and payment extensions to taxpayers directly affected by these severe storms. Alabama taxpayers residing in areas designated as disaster areas by the federal government have until Oct. 16, 2023, to file tax returns and make tax payments due on or after Jan. 12, 2023, and before Oct. 16, 2023. Taxpayers in these areas who file and pay on or before Oct. 16, 2023, will be eligible for penalty and interest relief during the extension period. The relief applies to all taxes administered by ALDOR, other than taxes and registration fees due under the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) and the International Registration Plan (IRP).
Affected taxpayers filing for Individual Income Tax, Corporate Income Tax, Pass-through Entities, Business Privilege Tax, or Withholding Tax may submit a penalty waiver request using ALDOR’s Form PWR, which can be accessed at
https://revenue.alabama.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/fpwr0920.pdf. Taxpayers may submit the form to ALDOR’s Income Tax Administration Division at the address on the form.

Taxpayers in localities added later to the disaster area, including those in other states, will automatically receive the same filing and payment relief. The list of eligible localities is continuously updated on the disaster relief page on IRS.gov.
Además, los contribuyentes de zonas no designadas específicamente como zonas catastróficas que tengan dificultades para presentar su declaración a tiempo debido a las circunstancias meteorológicas asociadas a estas graves tormentas pueden solicitar una exención de las sanciones por retraso en la presentación y en el pago tras presentar la documentación adecuada a la ALDOR.
